Sell Your Sex Pistols God Save the Queen Poster
Here is a Sex Pistols God Save the Queen poster we sold:
Sex Pistols 1977 “God Save the Queen” Poster
Original Sex Pistols 1977 “God Save the Queen” Virgin Records promotional concert poster designed by famed artist Jamie Reid. Designed for the album that became known as the “most heavily censored record in British history”, poster depicts a black and white Queen Elizabeth II with her features obscured by the song and band names in cutout letters against a traditional Union Jack Flag. When the record sleeves were originally printed, the UK plate makers were so offended at the Queen’s distorted image that they initially halted printing. The band was also promptly arrested after they played the song during the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. The image has now been fully subsumed by British culture and is considered by many as the greatest record cover of all time. Poster measures 37.5″ x 26.5″. Small area of paper loss at lower left corner, and minute chipping at edges. Shallow folds from being folded in eighths, as issued. Very good condition. Sold for $1,100.

They will spend the cash you / generate on schemes to increase / their own power. You will get a / small percentage of what you earn.

The Famous ”Oliver Twist Manifesto” Poster for the Sex Pistols’ Last Ever Show in Britain — Single Sided Test Print Before Poster’s Final Issue

This was the last show the tragic punk band would ever play in Britain. The concert was put on to benefit working class children whose parents had been laid off. Sex Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren designed the poster, deriving its name from McLaren’s vision of the band as a rag tag group of disenfranchised orphan boys on the streets of England. This is one of the rare single-sided test prints before the poster’s final issue as a double-sided item. Measures 11.75” x 16.25”.
